Cluster Fly Problem

Good morning.  We have a log home on an acreage and last year had an infestation of flies in between the top of the prow and the roof on the back of our house. We didn’t get a lot of flies flying around the inside of our house, however we were picking up hundreds of dead ones daily over a period of a couple of months. The issue is getting steadily worse and I would like to know what we can do to pre vent this happening this year. Regards,  Melanie

It sounds like you have a cluster fly problem.  They are entering the home through cracks and crevices.  They often find their way into attics, and a few may find their way into the living space.   Read More:   https://pestcontrolcanada.com/flies/cluster-flies/
